Dog Days of Summer: Ectotherms

August 13, 2013 |

Agreed, that’s a fancier word than we usually use to describe the merchandise in a home decor shop!

Today’s post is full of images of cold-blooded creatures–those animals who depend on external temperature to keep themselves functioning. And it’s not exact; marlins and sharks can generate some heat themselves.

These creatures in this category fill the “everything else” category of animals we’re featuring for the Dog Days of Summer Sale and Benefit for Saving Grace Pet Adoptions. Come back in a day or two to see what type of animal we feature next!

Blown glass fish to hang indoors or out.

Starfish paperweight. Or napkin weight. Perfect for a picnic when the wind picks up!

The animal-focused posts will only continue till the date of the sale. We’ll have the china, crystal, furniture, and jewelry back in a week or two. And cookies. We get a lot of attention on the cookie posts. See you on the 24th!

And note, if you’re following along: all of the animals in these images fall into the category of “common enough,” but not surprisingly uncommon, in terms of what you’d expect to find at Affordable Chic. Still working toward the category with almost NO examples.
